The journey to the Oasis base was smooth sailing. Perhaps because someone had already done enough work, when the heavy truck driven by Fu Xiaofei crossed the border, instead of the military police guarding the Republic of Dawa coming to inspect it, they lined up on both sides of the road to see them off. Especially after Pan Guan threw a box of canned beer and a box of cigarettes out of the car according to Halbara's instructions, the military and police of the Dawa Republic who lined up to see him off were even more cheerful and fired guns into the sky in celebration......

Looking at the military police of the Republic of Dawa who were grabbing beer and cigarettes from the back of the carriage, Fu Xiaofei shook his head with a little cry and laughter: "Where is there still a little bit of a soldier?" Worse than bandits......"

As if he was not surprised by this kind of scene, Halbara, who was sitting in the passenger seat, laughed loudly: "In the past, it was said that third world countries were slow in development, poor and weak, but if you compare them with these small African countries, they can already be regarded as paradise on earth!" In a place like the Republic of Dawa, it is not uncommon for a soldier to go for a few months, or even a year, without a military pay. Sometimes it's almost impossible to guarantee rations, so you can only rely on these soldiers to go out and find a way to solve it! ”

Blinking, Fu Xiaofei, who was driving forward, looked at Halbara curiously: "Solve it yourself?" You mean hunting? ”

With his eyes fixed on the road ahead, Halbara's face suddenly became gloomy: "Hunting? What prey can be hunted in this place? Even if you can occasionally hit some wild animals, it won't be enough for these soldiers to plug their teeth! So...... Do you look on the right side of the road? ”

Looking at an abandoned village passing by on the right side of the road, Fu Xiaofei's face also changed suddenly: "They did this?" ”

Nodding heavily, Halbara replied in a deep voice, "The border line is a void in the eyes of these people. Once they feel the need, they will choose a random village that they have their eye on and ransack it, relying on the guns in their hands. In addition to looting food and a pitiful amount of value, men, women, and children will also be their trophies! ”

Looking at the village that had become ruins from the rearview mirror of the vehicle, Fu Xiaofei sighed with emotion: "If you hadn't seen this with your own eyes, who would dare to believe that such a thing would happen?" But if the environment of this country has become like this, wouldn't it be ...... for our country to spend so much money to help them build various livelihood projects?"

Pointing Fu Xiaofei to drive around an old bomb crater on the road, Halbara responded: "Are you worried that our country will lose money in the trade? ”

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Fu Xiaofei groaned and said, "It's not enough to lose money. In the past, when our country was in extreme difficulty, we gave up our money to help build the African Railway, but now we can see the dividends. That is to say...... Everything our country is doing now is planning for the future? ”

Nodding slowly, Halbara replied slowly: "Domestic high-speed, high-speed rail, and some other livelihood projects, when they were first built, didn't many people say that this was a waste of money and labor?" But now, our long-term planning is not a little stronger than that of other countries! Maybe what we're doing now doesn't see the benefits for a moment. But when it comes to the hands of our children and grandchildren, everything we do now will definitely play a sufficient role! ”

As we spoke, the heavy truck had driven down the bumpy road into a small town that was not bustling. Raising his eyes and looking at the fuel reading on the dashboard, Fu Xiaofei turned the steering wheel and drove towards the gas station with a sign hanging high in the town: "I have to refuel myself!" Tell the brothers in the back carriage to be on guard, this place doesn't look so peaceful? ”

Reaching out and pulling out a Colt pistol from the holster on his leg, Halbara shook his head nonchalantly: "Do you need to inform me about this?" You are a big master in terms of magic reform, and you are ...... in terms of dancing knives and guns."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Xiaofei had already seen Gu Weisu jump out of the car with a sniper rifle in his car's rearview mirror and run towards an old-fashioned church next to the street that was so dilapidated that even the gate was gone. Not far behind Gu Weisu, Bao Lei, who jumped out of the carriage with an assault rifle, also followed him like a shadow, quickly seized a relatively sturdy abandoned building near the left side of the old-fashioned church, and served as Gu Weisu's guard.

Nodding approvingly, Fu Xiaofei drove into the gas station not far from the church. As soon as the heavy truck stopped, dozens of naked black children were already swarming like flies smelling blood, raising their hands and shouting at Fu Xiaofei in the cab: "Food! Food! ”

"Water...... Please give me water ......."

Glancing at each other, Halbara and Fu Xiaofei shook their heads at the same time, and shouted at the naked children with a wry smile: "Go away!" Go away! Nothing, hurry away! ”

Amid the roars of Halbara and Fu Xiaofei, Tang Guoming also grabbed an automatic rifle and jumped out of the back of the heavy truck, and tried to slow down his movements as much as possible to drive away the children who were gathered around the heavy truck. And in the back of the truck, Pan Guan had already put on a vigilant posture according to the gun, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at a few young people who were probing their brains at the corner of the street not far away!

When they first arrived on the African continent, Tang Guoming and others also distributed some food and clean drinking water to the poor children who gathered around them out of human instinctive compassion. But before the children could stuff the food into their mouths, some of the young people who were already watching from the sidelines would take the food and water that the children had just gotten into their hands like warship birds snatching prey from the mouths of seagulls, and sometimes even beat the poor children fiercely.

As soon as the people who distributed the food and water could not see the cruelty in front of them and interfered, a group of young people who had been prepared would surround the people who gave them food and water. In the midst of the chaos and noise, those seemingly poor children will be like marching ants, unusually quickly and ferociously looting the vehicles driven by the people who give food and water!

After suffering enough of such losses, even if you have mercy, I am afraid you have to be cautious when facing the same situation......

Trying his best to drive away the children gathered around the heavy truck, Tang Guoming reached out and patted the car door: "Refuel as soon as possible!" ”

Neatly opening the car door, Halbara quickly jumped out of the cab and walked over to a few gloomy black men sitting in front of the gas station: "Take out the gas pipes and fill us up with gas!" ”

Raising his eyes to look at the burly Halbara, a strong black man who was almost the same size as Halbara, slowly stretched out a huge slap towards Halba: "A thousand dollars!" ”

Apparently accustomed to this kind of almost blackmail routine, Halbara sneered and pointed the Colt pistol in his hand at a hand-cranked oil pump next to the gas station: "You want to buy a new hand-cranked oil pump?" ”

Staring into Halbara's eyes, the strong black man who slapped Halbara hesitated for a moment before slowly standing up: "Four hundred dollars!" That's the price! ”

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Halbara nodded helplessly: "Fill up!" ”

Still lazily whistling, the burly black man beckoned to a few equally lazy black men, pulled out an oil pipe from a pile of garbage next to the gas station, and then pushed a hand-cranked oil pump out of the garbage heap, and shook it weakly. With the harsh grinding sound of the hand-cranked oil pump handle turning, the shriveled oil pipeline finally swelled up.

Not in a hurry to stuff the oil pipeline into the mouth of the fuel tank, Halbara first reached out to take some gasoline gushing out of the oil pipe, and after making sure that it was correct, he stuffed the oil pipe into the mouth of the tank, but his eyes were still staring at several black men who were refueling, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand was always pointed at the burly black man, intentionally or unintentionally.

Observing Halbara's every move from the rearview mirror, Fu Xiaofei was very curious and shouted at Halbara: "What do you mean?" Add oil and be so cautious? ”

With his eyes fixed on the burly black man, Halbara replied, "This little gas station in the middle of nowhere has two refueling systems, one is real gasoline, and the other is almost dirty water mixed with some gasoline!" If you don't keep an eye on the point, once the car drives out for dozens of kilometers, you will either come up and rob it, or you will have to pay sky-high repair costs! ”

Looking at Tang Guoming and the others, who had always been on guard, Fu Xiaofei couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "It seems that you have suffered such a loss?" ”

Nodding slightly, Halbara replied, "When I first came to Africa, I didn't understand anything, and I suffered a lot in these aspects. If it weren't for the fact that the brothers were still passable, I'm afraid that the restaurant would have been buried in this poor mountain and bad water before it opened! Alright, ready to go! ”

Throwing down a few bills, Tang Guoming and the others quickly jumped onto the heavy truck. Almost under the eyes of a group of black people full of greedy desire, Fu Xiaofei quickly drove away from the deserted town.

Seeing the town gradually disappear from view, Bao Lei, who was sitting in the carriage, let out a long sigh: "Boss, you say...... What will the people of this place look like in the future? ”

Turning his head to look at Bao Lei, who had a somewhat strange face, Tang Guoming responded in a low voice: "What do you mean?" ”

Shaking his head vigorously, Bao Lei said in a deep voice: "I am in the eyes of those people...... I can't see anything. I mean...... There is always something in the human eye. Happy, sad, angry, cowardly, even if it is a person like Gu Weisu who looks for the shooting node first when he looks at everything, there will be something in his eyes. But I looked at the people in that town...... There was nothing in their eyes, not even a look of despair! ”

Holding the automatic rifle in his arms, Pan Guan also responded: "I feel the same way." Their eyes always make me feel that there is no difference between them living and dead. It's kind of like ...... Zombie? Maybe they can do anything in order to live one more day, and they can even be so cruel that we can't believe it. But what are they living for, I don't think they know? ”

Gu Weisu, who was resting on the wall of the carriage with his eyes slightly closed, spoke abruptly and answered Pan Guan's words: "They just live for the sake of living, just like animals!" As for why they are like this...... You don't need me to explain, do you? ”

Sighing deeply, Tang Guoming sighed and responded: "The completely disorderly social environment, the almost never-ending war, and the almost extreme lack of means of living have made them like this. In other words, they don't take their lives seriously at all, and they don't see ...... Or rather, they don't think they have any future at all! What else can some people who can't see the future have in their eyes? ”

Nodding with a wry smile, Bao Lei said in a muffled voice: "It is said that Africa is a mysterious continent and a place of prosperity in the future. As far as we can see since we arrived in Africa, this place is ...... It's almost like a desperate wasteland in a post-apocalyptic novel. And we, the adventurers who walk in the wasteland of despair? ”

Still slightly closed his eyes, Gu Weisu responded coldly: "Cheap sympathy that shouldn't be there, it's better to be less overflowing!" Even if this place is a wasteland of despair, we are adventurers who walk the wasteland of despair, at least we ...... It's walking with hope! ”

Surprised, Bao Lei looked at Gu Weisu who was half-closed and pretended to sleep in disbelief, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Old Gu, are you a ghost today?" It's just a matter of talking too much, why is it still poetic and picturesque? Adventurers who walk with hope ......"

Snorting coldly with disdain, Gu Weisu simply closed his eyes: "For me, everything I have done before, now, and in the future is to prevent the people around me from experiencing the same life and feeling the same despair!" To this end...... Don't let me be an adventurer, even if it makes me have horns, long wings, bloodthirsty, chewing bones and marrow, I don't care! ”

Obviously, they understood the meaning of Gu Weisu's words, and Tang Guoming and the others all nodded slightly. Inside the cab, Halbara was already pointing to the complex looming on the horizon ahead, and shouted excitedly: "Oasis camp, we have arrived!" ”
